It's well known that people with low self esteem or and/or insecurity pick on others in an attempt boost their own self worth/image. That being said, the submitter (bebop717) must have a really small penis. - jenel, on 10/11/2007, -5/+244My seteem is fine, it's my esteem that's causing trouble.
- shibbz, on 10/11/2007, -8/+191Tip #1. Learn how to spell.
- EmmSee, on 10/11/2007, -3/+1011. Do what you love.
Everyone loves to do something, when you indulge yourself in your love you improve the way you feel about yourself. You improve your self esteem.
2. Help others out.
Nothing makes you feel a warm glow than when you unselfishly help others. of course you can argue that this in itself is selfish, but if you take that line of thought you must think that existence is selfish. Forget that. Just do a good deed, help someone out, doesn’t have to be big and it doesn’t have to cost any money.
3. Acknowledge your strengths
There is no one who has no strengths. Everyone is good at something, know what your good at and give yourself a pat on the back. Do things that bring this quality out into the open. Excercise it, make it stronger.
4. Don’t put up with crap.
There is no reason you should tolerate other people being mean to you. Even if they say they are doing it with love. Make sure people know they should be nice to you and if they refuse, walk away from them.
5. Drop your negative friends.
Hang out with people who are positive and support you. It may be fun to bitch and moan but if you hang out with these types of people you will eventually become one of them. You may have noticed that people who bitch and moan are never happy.
6. Do your research
A lof of self help books are a waste of time in the sense that the only person who can change you is you. Reading even this blog post will not change you unless you get emotionally involved with the information. Which is really hard as it’s really dry and boring. Go read biographies of people you respect, people who do positvive things and attain huge success. Learn from the master not the self help guru who is always in debt.
7. Learn to accept compliments.
It’s hard to accept a compliment and not to dismiss it as being ridiculous. Someone has an opinion and it should be respected, even if you do not argree with it. If people think good about you then maybe you should too.
8. Include positivity in your life.
I’m not talking an airy fairy chant in the mirror whilst naked. I mean take a positive slant on everything automatically. The meat pie you just bit in to may contain maggots, but maggots contain a lot of protien. OK that’s a bit extreme but you get the point.
9. Compare yourself against yourself.
If you look at how you were yesterday and how you are today and there is an improvement then that is great. If there is no improvement then you know you need to improve your efforts. Don’t start comparing your self to other people. Saying you are poor compared to D. Trump is just going to make you miserable.
10. There is no need for you to put yourself down.
y seeing yourself in a negative light you are only reinforcing your low self esteem. If you want to improve your self esteem. Ask yourself, how can I improve my self esteem. The answer will always be, find one positive thing about yourself and that will do it. - crashbang, on 10/11/2007, -8/+91If you ask me, people have a little too much self esteem. People have such a bloated sense of self worth right now. I forget were I saw it but students across the country were surveyed about their math skills. The students said they were dynamite. The tests however show a very different story. They have been pumped up to believe that they are "right" no matter what. So everybody walks around with delusions of grandeur. Self respect would be more like it. Learn how to say "I am sorry." or "I am wrong about that." w/o having it be such a blow to your ego. You'll be able to deal with alot more in life.
- mobialflow, on 10/11/2007, -0/+47Self esteem is respect for oneself. I think you are referring to egotism, which unfortunately is a rampant plague.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -2/+40As a generalization I agree that insecure people pick on others. However, in my case it's just because I'm an *****.
- RandomJacks, on 10/11/2007, -4/+41The site is down...just like my esteem.
- 80hd, on 10/11/2007, -2/+38I'm such a loser.... Taking esteem tips from the internet
- omnibahumut, on 10/11/2007, -6/+40Tip #2: Know the difference between a spelling error and a typo.
- diggB, on 10/11/2007, -2/+34"All you fat ass losers should check this out" is the poster's attempt at humor. Refer to #4's "Don’t put up with crap" to see what I mean.
- dajuggernaut, on 10/11/2007, -11/+37You American penis very large, our penis very small
- EmmSee, on 10/11/2007, -2/+251st Seteem-related front page story ever... historic day.

And remember - you're the best around. And darn it, people like you. - ripstuntz, on 10/11/2007, -5/+25Hey bebop717, ***** you.
- hmmmok, on 10/11/2007, -1/+20Chinpokoman!!
- dimanorcal, on 10/11/2007, -2/+16Oh god, the link is down. Christ, I can't do anything right can I? I try to read an article and I can't even load a simple webpage.
I am such a pathetic loser. - dajuggernaut, on 10/11/2007, -1/+15How many of you have self-help books? Okay that's your first problem. You can't help yourself, because your self sucks!
- InMSWeAntitrust, on 10/11/2007, -0/+14Tip #3: Don't hurt our feelings if you're trying to raise our self esteem. It's counter-productive.
- RpgActioN, on 10/11/2007, -0/+10How do lists like these keep making it to the front page? They are the most generic, obvious, redundant things on this ***** earth. If you are suffering from low self-esteem, this list will NOT help you in the slightest. People need to stop pretending they have some sort of deep psychological insight and let the real doctors handle it.
- Twist05, on 10/11/2007, -10/+191) Lose some weight

- jeremiah, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8"You may remember me from such self help films as Smoke Yourself Thin & Get Confident Stupid" - Troy McClure
- HeatherH88, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8Step 11: Attend a county fair.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -10/+17Oh man. Dugg just for the description.
- rudy23, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7OP. I think you are confusing self esteem with humility.
- D3koy, on 10/11/2007, -2/+8With a properly spelled title, better description, and better host for the site this story would have been a hell of a lot more successful.
- RedWolves, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6Site is down...I am going to kill myself now.
- lkeg56demn, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6hi, you must be new here.

- Manuelmty, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6i think its missing workout in a gym, it helps boost self- esteem and you get to know more people ....
- cbrunet, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6Life's too short to worry about stuff like this.
It's just too short... so love the one you got. Cause you might get run over or you might, get, shot. - t3hp0d, on 10/11/2007, -5/+9What's next? 10 quick tips to improove yor speeling?
- rudy23, on 10/11/2007, -2/+6Just like the year of linux to take over desktops this is prolly the year seteem takes over the media.
- mablco, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4i blame mr. rogers

- ChronicColonic, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3I was thinking about taking a class on improving my self esteem...I just don't think I am good enough.
- pjs1840, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3and your syndrome.
- dixta, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Tip #11: Don't ***** up your headline on Digg because the mob will tear you apart.
- eladon, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4duggmirror did not catch it before it went down -- burying for two reasons:
1) Submitter hits English for 15 points
2) Site down... - Rikkochet, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3You'd make a lousy schizophrenic.
- fanclerks, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4Thumbs up for the School of Scoundrels reference.
- Ellsass, on 11/05/2008, -1/+3What you're wrong about is finding an excuse instead of bettering yourself. If you rely on your leaders to set an example for you, and you know your leaders really aren't doing that, find some new ones.
- D3koy, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3Ironic?
- richerrrds, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Demand more prozac!
